Still ripping here in Port Huron. Lightning about 20 min ago and the seeing the glow of transformers blowing up in the distance. The lake sounds super angry. Hoping to keep electricity but this wind/snow is relentless 

Tiny flakes over here on the lake but wind is picking up

Definitely not many at all  

 

Plus by the time we start getting the storm it feels like half the people on the forums are talking about the next storm 

But hey we get the anticipation and the longevity of having it last longer

Fun has finally begun here.  Sometimes it is hard to be one of the most northern posters (Outflow I know is even further north of me).

I feel ya

being in Pt Huron is almost like being on another continent. Not many folks to discuss local wx here but (shrug)

2 pages of model discussion and not 1 screenshot of said models to visualize what is being discussed. This sub forum would be so much better if these were attached. 

*slightly off topic*

one thing I’ve noticed since moving to this regional board is that there’s a lot of discussion about latest/different models… but no screenshots to go with the post. So I have to kind of look around online to see which model you’re talking about. Just sorta wondering why folks don’t attach a quick pic of model (or at least link) so we can easily correlate post with visual.

*end of off topic, carry on*

They probably measure on a board not the ground.

I just did an entire loop from UWS to 57th up to 96th and back in CP and unless that board was perched a couple hundred feet in the air, there was absolutely no place that measured that much snow there.

Are we sure they didn’t mean .04” and not .4” at CP? 
 

ok just had to take dogs out and this weather sucks b*lls. Windy rainy and raw. 
who do I talk to in order to get proper winter precipitation ❄️?

What makes this whole dry spell worse is that I have a 2nd place in Michigan and I keep getting weather warnings from Alexa today about the snowstorms. Makes me wanna jump in the car and spend the rest of the winter there . Which I may do next week. This cold and rainy weather is no bueno

Winter 2022-2023 to date vs. other bad winters (warmth and lack of snowfall):

#1 spot gave us the highest snowfall storm on record (in NYC) 9 days later… so there’s that

Can’t complain here in Port Huron 

it’s been consistently howling/snowing all day and the winds are bad enough to scare the dogs. It’s been interesting to watch the snowfall change direction today. Pretty sure my place has been hammered from every direction except from the east . The lake is pretty wild  too

Welcome! Sorry it's been a poor start to your first winter here, but should be fun tomorrow night I to the weekend!

Thanks

hell it’s been better than the east coast so I’m not complaining at all. They’re just getting rain outta this so the disappointment level is about a 10/10 with that crew

Euro was a good run for Southeast Michigan

Which is what I’m looking for ❄️

first winter here (from NYC where the boards would be insufferable right now) so really hoping for a SE MI jackpot. Specifically Port Huron but ya know can’t be picky

NHC puts out the wind probability maps which is the type of graphic they should be using for the entire storm. Move away from the cone and stick with a color coded graphic like this but for all impacts, not just wind. 

IMO this would be much better than what is currently used

I grabbed this from the Ian discussion page.  Point is, Ft Myers and Naples was "safe", not center of the storm

The map doesn’t show the “center of the storm”

it shows where landfall is possible and Ft Myers is very much in that area

This map was posted on 25 Sep, 48 hours before the storm (pulled from the Ian thread).  South and east was the way to evacuate, Tampa is on the southern edge of the cone.  Ft Myers/Naples isnt even the cone at this point.  Forecasting was poor on this one.

Sorry but where is that map from?

each NHC arum varied a bit, but swfl was never out of the cone. 
In all the years I lived in Florida, especially knowing how hurricanes can change path at the last minute, I would NEVER have thought of going south on the same coast it was forecast to hit

Ian certainly had the capacity to kill hundreds if they didn't evacuate.   Keep in mind there are a lot of elderly in the Ft Myers area plenty with limited physical capability or special medication needs.

… who didn’t evacuate

With death toll already over 70 I do expect a number between 100-200 total.

Damage probably from 60-80 billion though higher numbers wouldn't shock me. 

in my opinion, and from what I’m hearing from friends and family down in swfl, that’s a very conservative death toll estimate you’re expecting

I can’t believe people are actually swimming on Fort Myers Beach. Never mind, yes I can.

 

wonder how they fared

I sincerely hope the media is exaggerating that story or they reported BS and didn’t do their homework like always

There’s not

My whole family is in Cape Coral so I was watching the local news and reading the local newspaper down there starting last Sunday and was aghast that they decided to have school on Monday. It was like “no big deal, folks… carry on”

Has anyone heard from Fort Myers Beach?

NBC-2.com has is showing a lot of horrendous damage from there

It's not out of the question that Orlando takes more damage than Tampa from Ian.  Who would have guessed?

Anyone who knew the history of Charlie

Anyone else concerned that we have seen almost  zero footage last few hours from anyone in Cape Coral?

A bit

was in contact with my family down there and now can’t get through in over an hour.

I hope anyone in Cape Coral is gone. That area is going to be 15ft+ under water.

They’re not

grew up down there and *everyone* I’ve talked to is staying 

(my brother for instance)
